Curtain up on Trump tragedy

Now begins the fourth act of Donald Trump's life.

He expects being President will be easy; details are beneath him. Hire a guy.

In storytelling's genre of tragedy, the "main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances," or so Google says.

"The tragic flaw, inherent defect or shortcoming in the hero of a tragedy, who is in other respects a superior being favoured by fortune," says Encyclopedia Britannica, also quoted on Google.

Favoured by fortune. Check.

Moral weakness. Check.

Inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances. Check.

Tragic flaws, inherent defects. Check, check.

I fear that the ruin and extreme sorrow will be shared by the Americans Trump's thugs are primed to destroy.
